Mr. Talbot of .South aroliiiu rose lo a ipiestioti of personal privilege lo correct what he said was an Uninten tional inisreprcscnintioii of himself in the public prints This led to a stir ring Incident. He said that Mr. Pear son of North Carolina had made an unwarranted attack on the loyalty of Ills stale, which lie ciceiarcil was as loyal as any state in the union. Mr. ' Pearson had said that North Carolina ! Iiait followed south I'm oil im out of the union, und had got whipped along with the Palmetto state. j "In ti joeuhii way, Mr Spcukci," continued Mr Talbfit, "I declared that ; wc were not whipp'il ti t. had worn j ourselves out Irving to whip tin other fellows. In the bent of the moment," i lie continued, 'ami in pulhively, I said that South Caroliuu was mil j ashamed of the part she took in il tlr.it she was proud of it. ami that I for one indorsed secession then. I thought we were right; 1 think so yd, and that under the same circum stances, surrounded by thu same con ditions, thai I would do the same thing again. Now. Mr. Speaker I re peat it." "He has said that In has repeat.'d thu statement that under certain cir cumstances In believed in secession, i propose now to offer u resolution of censure," put m Mr. ISarrctt of Massa chusetts. 15y this time the excite ncitt on the floor was intense. Mr. Crisp said that he had never known an instance when a member was called to order and a motion was made that lie beallnwcd lo explain his utterances that such a motion was not considered. To this Mr Ilarrett re plied that he hud no objection to the gentleman from South Carolina ex plaining at the pioper time his state ment: thut the gentleman, having taken an oath to sustain I lie constitu tion of the I uitcd States said he would, under certain ciriiiustance, at tempt to overthrow and humiliate tlie government. There was morn parlitnentary spar ring between Mr. Crisp and Mr. Ilar rett, during which the excitement gradually rose. The Speaker llimlly cut tlie mutter short by saying that if the House was not satisfied with Mr. Talbot's explanation the rcsolullom might be offered. The Speaker de cided that Mr. Crisp's motion was in order. "I take It for granted." said Mr. Dingley. rising, "that the lloiist) does not intend to vole on a resolution of ccnsitr" without according the gentle man from South Caioliua un opporuu ity to explain." These words won the applause of the Democratic, side. Mr. Talbot availed himself of the opportunity and explained that hj had risen to correct a mlsicprescnta tioti. He had no idea that the press intended to misrepieseiit him inten tionally. South Carolina, he pro ceeded, was us loyal and as true to the I'nlon us any State in the Hnion. The circumstances under which she se ceded could not exist again ami he was gliu' of it. (Democratic applause). Mr. Ilarrcttot Massachusetts jumped up ut these words ami asked that the words be taken down. Several members appealed to him not to do so and the speaker asked Mr. liariett if he insisted upon tlie demand. Mr. Harrett seemed to hesitate when Mr. Talbot again got on his feet ami declared in a loud voice that he was willing to have his words taken down. "I will stand by them, said lie. These words seemed to clinch Mr. I'arrott's resolve, and Mr. Ilarrett re plied to the speaker with feeling: "cs. I insist. 1 want to see if u member can violate his oath in this fashion.' The chair understood that the gen tleman from South Carolina was only icpeatliig what he hail said on a for mer occasion," stiul Speaker Iteed. Mr. Ilarrett replied that in that case h had a point of order to submit.
